Interactions: How does the way that statistics are produced influence the value that users get from them, and how can this be addressed to maximise value? To what degree to statistics need to be directly used for them to provide value (or do people value outcomes from others using them instead)?
Background
To deliver against our vision of statistics that serve the public good, in OSR we describe our work under the headings of how statistics are produced, how they are used, and how they are valued. However, in practice it is natural that elements of our work and interests cut across all of these three areas. Some of the questions we are interested in span multiple areas of our mission (how statistics are produced, used and valued).
Next steps
If you would like to share evidence or collaborate with us on any of these areas, please contact us at research.function@statistics.gov.uk.

Why might this be relevant?
The project partially answers the question by addressing how statistics are used and valued, but does not directly address how the way statistics are produced influences their value.
